Artists' book single color offset print hand colored with watercolor
and pencil on recycled 200gsm paper, with jewellers tissue 70gsm paper.
13.5cm X 15.5cm, bound in three different tones of emu leather by Peter
Stewart-Warmington, with colored leatherette's on cover.
Printed by Hart Printing.
Edition of 10, 2000.
The
small leatherettes which feature on the cover were found in a secondhand
bookstore in New Zealand and were the original inspiration behind
this series of artists' books. The leatherettes had been designed
to be adhered to lamp shades and cigarette boxes and gowns;or,
in our case, small books. The leatherettes ranged from golden elephants
through to inky-hued rabbits and blue hens.
The books in this edition are covered in black, ochre and cherry-red
emu leather, selected for the delicious peck marks and imperfections
across the surface.
